Problem 1 (5 points): A sailing ship can be modeled as shown in Fig 1. In Fig 1, the forward sail is modeled as a 45-45-90 right triangle and the rear sail is a 30-60-90 right triangle. Each sail experiences a tangential force of 1.0X10² N. What is the total forward force acting on the ship? 1.0 X10² N Fig 1: A sailing ship (left) and a simplified drawing for analysis. 1.0 X102 N
